Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century

Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century By Jonathan Glover
2001 | 480 Pages | ISBN: 0300087152 | PDF | 8 MB



This important book confronts the brutal history of the twentieth century to unravel the psychological mystery of why so many atrocities occurred--the Holocaust, Hiroshima, the Gulag, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and others--and how we can prevent their recurrence. Jonathan Glover finds disturbing similarities in the psychology of those involved with atrocities, yet offers hope that the development of a political and personal moral imagination can empower us to resist all acts of cruelty.
